Kindness Is Rebellious And Revolutionary

"Kindness is revolutionary, because we live in a world and society where we've been programmed from the moment we're born in one way or another to essentially not be kind, having compassion, having empathy, being loving, being caring. How and why have we been detached from this? Obviously the powers that be do not want us to be kind, they want us to be selfishly preoccupied. If we are contributing to that with the things that we consume, that is not being kind. We must live our life applying kindness to ourselves and all around us." DISL Automatic

Leaked Audio Proves Mainstream Media Cheers On Trump’s Bigotry For Profit

An inside look at why corporate media eggs on Trump’s divisive —
and lucrative — braggadocio.
By Deirdre Fulton (COMMONDREAMS): Even as large swaths of the population call for media outlets to do their part in stemming the “dangerous tide of hatred, violence, and suspicion” taking hold in the United States, corporate media — which stands to benefit nicely from the $5 billion 2016 presidential election—is egging on that same divisive rhetoric.
“Go Donald! Keep getting out there!” CBS Corporation chief executive Les Moonves reportedly said during an investor presentation Monday.
Trumpeting the advertising dollars already flowing CBS’s way as a result of the crowded 2016 GOP presidential primary, Moonves said: “We love having all 16 Republicans candidates throwing crap at each other — it’s great. The more they spend, the better it is for us.”
“And, you know, this is fun, watching this, let them spend money on us, and we love having them in there,” he declared. “We’re looking forward to a very exciting political year in ’16.”

Doctors Without Borders Hospital Was Intentionally Targeted By U.S. - Say Two Military Servicemen

By Michael Krieger: Over the last month or so, there’s been a bit of a flurry of U.S. military members with conscience coming forward to tell the truth about incidents or practices they deem unethical.
For example, just last month, four former drone operators came forward to denounce the program publicly, coupled with a letter addressed to President Obama. As noted in the post, Drone Whistleblower Claim – Pilots Often High on Drugs; Refer to Children as “Fun Size Terrorists”:

The killings, part of the Obama administration’s targeted assassination program, are aiding terrorist recruitment and thus undermining the program’s goal of eliminating such fighters, the veterans added.

Men's Rights Activists Win Argument, US Secretary Now Pushing Equality Via Forced Conscription For Women

"Equal rights mean equal responsibilities."
Pushed by men's rights activists, the US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter announced that all military jobs would be open to women, including the most dangerous combat jobs. Some have hailed it as a victory for equal rights and are even calling for women to be eligible for the draft. Are they missing the point? RonPaul.

The Global Economic Reset Has Begun

By Brandon Smith: In my last article, I outlined the deliberately engineered trend toward the forced “harmonization” of national economies and monetary policies, as well as the ultimate end goal of globalists: a single world currency system controlled by the International Monetary Fund and, by extension, global governance, which internationalists sometimes refer to in their more honest public moments as the “new world order.”
The schematic for the new world order, according to the admissions of the internationalists, cannot possibly include the continued existence of U.S. geopolitical and economic dominance. The plan, in fact, requires the destabilization and reformation of America into a shell of its former glory. The most important element of this plan demands the removal of the U.S. dollar as the de facto world reserve currency, a change that would devastate our current financial structure.

US College Cry Bullies Demand “Racist” Lynch Memorial Hall Be Renamed

In a recent post, Not a Safe Space – Canadian University Suspends Yoga Class After Students Become Offended, I explained how those most responsible for the almost inconceivable authoritarian idiocy spreading across college campuses are not the students themselves, but their spineless and inept administrators.
These kids are more or less acting like Wall Street financiers after the bailouts. After the bankers were provided with trillions of dollars in backstops and no one went to jail for destroying the economy, they immediately paid themselves record bonuses a year after the worst of the crisis, and are now once again thieving and pillaging at will.
Why? Because when no one is held accountable, the incentives are in place to steal. Similarly, no adults are holding these out of control child-fascists accountable for their despicable behavior. As such, these tyrants-in-training are getting more out of control every day, and getting away with it. Thank you college administrators.

Researchers Suggest Cannabis Can Reduce Obesity And Risk Of Diabetes

By Carey Wedler (ANTIMEDIA): Though cannabis use is often associated with unmitigated sloth and gluttony, a new study suggests the opposite: cannabis use may be associated with a decrease in obesity. An analysis of over 20 years of data found that obesity dropped by a significant margin in states where medical cannabis is legal. Though the researchers’ findings represented correlation as opposed to causation, the results, like many new findings about cannabis, chip away at decades-old stereotypes about the plant and its users.
The study, titled “The Effect of Medical Marijuana Laws on Body Weight,” was published in Health Economics, an academic journal that focuses on health policy and services, health care sciences and services, and economics. Researchers from Cornell University’s Department of Policy Analysis and Management and San Diego State University’s Department of Economics analyzed data from the Center for Disease Control’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. The BRFSS is the “premier system of health-related telephone surveys that collect state data about U.S. residents regarding their health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, and use of preventive services,” according to the CDC.

Gender In Post Government Societies

"Of all non combatants in the former Yugoslavia, adult civilian men were most likely to be massacred by enemy forces, Why therefore did international agencies mandated with the protection of civilians evacuate women and children but not military aged men from besieged areas? ...the international dilemmas faced by protection workers in the former Yugoslavia when negotiating access to civilian populations. Firstly Gender beliefs constitute the strategies on which civilian protection is based and secondly gender norms operate in practise to constrain the options available to protection workers in assisting civilians. These two formal pathways converged in the former Yugoslavia to produce effect disastrous to adult men and male adolescents." CS MGTOW

I’m Buying A Christmas Tree, Even Though I Hate Christmas

The Dissident Dad: Christmas and I have some bad blood. No, I don’t hate baby Jesus, or harbor a contempt for Christians. Indeed, I consider myself to be a follower of Christ-like principals. As a self-described anarchist, loving people and doing no harm fits right in at my home.
Growing up as a child in a middle-class home where my dad worked 12-hour days and my mom clipped coupons, I remember all the great things about Christmas. Stockings full of toys hanging over the fireplace, waking up in the morning to presents under the tree followed by a large family gathering later that afternoon. I never received the big gifts some of my friends did, but I was still happy, receiving more than enough, as well as the occasional video game for my Nintendo.
It wasn’t until after my parents were divorced that Christmas and I had a falling out, to the point where as an adult, I didn’t buy a tree until my oldest child turned 5 (last year). Even then, it was in protest.
At 12 years of age, I watched as my mother struggle to buy gifts. After the divorce, my mom lived in a mobile home in Southern California, and every year, I watched her do everything she could to live up to the idea of a “middle-class” Christmas. It wasn’t until then that I realized the damage being done to the poor and lower middle classes during this holiday. The irony, of course, is that the historical Jesus was a man who sought to help the poor,
